Clar Weah visit Liberian Embassy in Beijing

Liberia’s First Lady, Mrs. Clar Marie Weah has thanked the
staff at the Liberian Embassy near the People’s Republic of China (PRC)
for the hard work they’re doing on behalf of the country.

“The Government and people of Liberia appreciate all the work that you
do here,” she informed the diplomatic and local staff at an acquaintance
meeting. According to a dispatch from Beijing, the Liberian First Lady
made the comments when she visited the Mission while on a brief visit to
China.

She indicated that as “First Lady” of Liberia, she’s
also hard at work trying to help the disadvantaged people within the
society. “One of the reasons we’re here is to appeal to the Chinese
because I know they’re supportive of whatever we do to help with my
Foundation; I’m here to ask that of them,” Mrs. Clar Weah stated.

Mrs.
Weah noted that she has set up the “Clar Hope Foundation” and her goal
is to improve the living conditions of both urban and rural women,
increase the income of rural women through agriculture; rehabilitate,
educate and train young boys and girls that are on the streets of
Liberia. She named the targeted groups as women, the elderly, orphans,
special need children as well as wayward young youth.

She
promised to make his dream a reality and outlined plans to build a
facility to be called “City of Hope”, which will consist of a home for
disadvantaged children, a rehabilitation center for girls from the
street, a school, shelters for orphans and a feeding program for the
elderly.

First Lady Weah thanked the staff for the warm welcome;
praised the close relations and how supportive China continues to be to
the Government and people of Liberia.

Making comments when she
signed the guest book later, the Liberian First Lady said, “It is with
great pleasure to be united with our Liberian Embassy here in China. May
God continue to bless their mission and their continued relationship
with China.”

Speaking earlier, Ambassador Dudley McKinley Thomas
warmly welcomed the First Lady and delegation to Beijing, noting that
the visit is symbolic of the strong relationship that exists between the
People’s Republic of China and Liberia.

“I know your visit
serves the interest of the Government and people of Liberia and will add
to the strength and further cooperation between both countries,”
Ambassador Thomas indicated, wishing the delegation success on their
mission. He reminded the First Lady that the Embassy remains at her
complete disposal.

Ambassador Thomas reassured Mrs. Weah that
Mission in China is cognizant of the good work started in the
country. He promised that the Embassy will do its part in promoting
that agenda in reaching out to see how they can resource and support the
foundation with their work.

C Liberia Clearly CEO calls on George Weah to take Arts and Culture seriously.
The Honorable George M. Weah, President of the Republic of Liberia, I write to endorse your "Pro Poor" agenda. I fully

support your call "to ensured Liberians are not spectators in the

Liberian Economy."
In

order to carry out this "Pro Poor" agenda successfully,

and in order to fully empower the young generation, the Liberian Entertainment Industry must be included.

Arts and Culture has played a critical role in keeping our young citizens gainfully employed. From the music industry to film industry to the fashion industry, this generation has benefitted from the employment opportunities arts and culture provides.
